Frequently Asked Questions

No. Zagreb cannot be reached by water: the Croatian capital is visited by road, about an hour from the river call at Sisak on the Sava. Cruise lines usually devote the full day to it, meal included.
Ban Jelačić Square, Dolac market, the cathedral, the climb to Gradec by Tkalčićeva street and the Stone Gate, St Mark's church, the noon cannon at Lotrščak tower, then the lower town and its parks. A day is enough to grasp the essentials.
Zagreb's central market, two minutes up a staircase from Ban Jelačić Square: dozens of red parasols shelter fruit, fresh cheese and cut flowers, and women from nearby villages have kept stalls here since 1930. The covered hall below holds fishmongers and butchers.
For its glazed tiles bearing brilliant coats of arms, the most reproduced image in the country. The church crowns the main square of Gradec, the upper hill of the old town.
A cannon shot fired every day at exactly noon from Lotrščak tower, a tradition more than a century old. Locals set their watches by it, visitors jump. The tower can be climbed for a view over the red roofs and the Sava plain.
One of the shortest in the world: a 66-metre run between the upper and lower town. It has been a welcome shortcut since 1890, and a curiosity in its own right.
A pocket museum in the upper town devoted to mementos of failed love affairs sent in from around the world. It is one of the capital's most unexpected visits, and takes barely an hour.
Štrukli, pastry parcels of fresh cheese served baked, which local brasseries offer both savoury and sweet. Zagreb also treats the long coffee as an art of living: terraces fill from mid-morning onward.
The euro and Croatian. English is very widely spoken in the capital. Cards work everywhere; keep cash for Dolac market.
Partly. It is the largest Gothic building in the country, but its spires have been under long restoration since the 2020 earthquake and access can be limited. The scaffolding says something: this city repairs, shores up, carries on.
